As I posted last, reality took a bite out of my optimism lately. In reality it is more than okay, but it still stings to the touch. Tomorrow is another day.
I modified my semester to mandate only 4 days a week commuting. Which is only one day less than last semester, but is a huge save of time - 3 hours of commuting eliminated. Today is my off day and man has it been productive. I have tackled the projects of 3 courses this morning and only have 1 class information to review and another to actually do. This new schedule should really help me maintain a better balance between school, work and family. Or at least that is the plan.
One of my courses had us take a personality test this week. It is set up to be a powerful tool for the 100% team work class. Helping us to know ourselves and work better with our team mates. My main personality trait is Affiliating/Perfecting and Analyzing/Preserving. As I read through the list of descriptive traits, I would say many resemble me. I don't respond well to criticism, it annoys me when others take advantage or fall short of expectations and I despise it when folks cut corners on major tasks. They claim my favorite says are "if it is worth doing, it is worth doing well" and "better to be safe than sorry", I think my kids would agree.
I hope you all are having a fabulous week. I am working my way out of sadness - by achievement through task completion. I was smacked with another hit yesterday and this one just rocked my logic - the gal with exposed boobs got a call back for the internship too. OMG. Since learning this I am just flabbergasted by the entire process.
I remember one partner asking if I consider myself an entrepreneur. Of course, I said yes. I can't help but think this played against me - because the firm would most likely want 100% of my focus and my other ventures could come to play. Although I wouldn't allow that - they don't know this. Or possibly it could be that I have other earning avenues and am not hungry enough. I could probably contemplate the evaluation a million ways from Sunday, but it doesn't change the fact that I was not even told "no thank-you".

Try not to let it get you down. You certainly already have enough on your plate without worrying about keeping a bunch of partners happy too! I am a big believer in destiny....and that things happen---or don't happen---for a very good reason. Chin up girl!
Yes, that does suck that they didn't even have the courtesy to let you know. NOW - forgeddaboutit!! And forget about them! They don't deserve you!
